Sacrifice. Compromise. Giving up a piece of yourself for the happiness of the one you love. Jesus demonstrated this ultimate gift of selflessness for us on the cross. Here in our human lives, we are given opportunity after opportunity to replicate that lesson of love as we struggle to grow and live His purpose every day.
I am small, broken, insignificant, sinful. But I have given Jesus a home in my heart, so I am reminded by the nudges of the Holy Spirit to remember. To remember the sacrifice. To remember my insignificance. To remember to give up my selfishness and let His light guide me. I am so humbled and so overwhelmingly thankful for His saving grace. I am too small to understand, but in faith I follow.
So in awe I look upon my wonderful husband, my beautiful children, our stable jobs, our warm home, our loving families, this beautiful Earth, and I am so grateful to be alive. I’m so grateful for the life I was given and the Life reborn within me. Now, as ever, that nudge from the Holy Spirit asks, “Now what will you do with these blessings?” I will use them all to His glory. Yes, I will fall. Yes, I will sometimes fail. But I will keep trying, because I want to understand. I want to seek Him. His grace is there for us all...
In Christ’s Love,
